|| Tidbits and Trivia ||

Consistency is key: The winners for both Best Avatar and Best Signature retained their look from the old boards. It pays to be recognised!

Dressed to Impress: Dirty Duck, Null, and Shyne-Bryght all received votes for both Best Avatar and Best Signature.

Best Graphics: While not a category this year due to the lack of graphic makers currently active on the boards, signatures made by Jassassino received a number of votes across multiple members making him the honorary winner of the hypothetical category.

Double Dipping: As well as winning Post of the Year, TomRL101's snarky retort received an additional vote in the Best Signature category in the form of Jassassino's signature. Including this vote, TomRL's post received 5x the votes of the runner-ups for Post of the Year. Please do not take this as a sign to be more rude to your fellow members.

Landslide: The category with the biggest disparity in votes was Member of the Year. Due to his time in China over the past year it's unclear whether this was a true act of democracy or was in fact rigged.

Most Variety: The category with the largest number of different nominations was Most Missed where eight different members received votes. Half of these are on the boards already- @Cardboard Jesus @Departed @Kestrel @tako - we miss you!
The other half have yet to find their way here. Maybe we'll change that before the next awards?

One Thread Wonder: Despite posting exclusively in a single thread, Two Witnesses received votes for Best New Member, Post of the Year, and Topic of the Year.

Pass Pass Pass: One member abstained from voting in 3/7 categories. And here I thought we kept the categories trim enough to not scare anyone off!

This Maxine's Work: Maxine Work was the least active member to receive a vote for Member of the Year. She also received a vote for Topic of the Year for her powerhouse MGForums Wordle, which is still the second most replied to topic on the boards. Keep on trucking, Maxine!

Oh, Aragorn!: Aragorn PM'd Node 10 days ago asking if it was too late to submit his votes. He was told he could vote right up until this thread was posted, but never voted despite logging on multiple times since. womp womp!

Thank you everyone who voted and well done to the winners, well earned across the board!
As always thank you all for being a part of the site and making it a lively enough place to do something like this after our first year.
To the winners-please feel free to display your award stamps or userbars in your signature.
And to the non-winners-here's one so you don't feel too left out:
